Displacement Range:
Approximately 660cc to 1000cc (for Z1). Turbocharged variants offer significant power increases.
Fuel Delivery:
Fuel Injection (EFI) is standard on most 4-stroke models, some variants may utilize Carburetors.
Instrumentation:
Digital/analog gauge clusters displaying speed, RPM, fuel level, coolant temperature, and warning lights. Some models may have odometer and trip meters.
Features:
Basic features focusing on rider control and comfort. No advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) as found in automotive applications.
Features:
Limited to basic electrical systems and lighting. No integrated navigation or communication systems.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 2,000-3,000 miles or annually, refer to specific model section for exact intervals. Check owners manual for initial break-in service.
Engine Oil Type:
Synthetic 0W-40 or 5W-40 motorcycle-specific or snowmobile-specific oil meeting API SG or higher. Specific viscosity may vary; consult manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Always use a formulation suitable for aluminum engines.
Chaincase Oil:
Specific gear oil, e.g., 75W-90 Synthetic gear oil. Capacity and exact specification in manual.
Turbocharger Care:
Proper cool-down procedures after hard use are crucial for turbocharger longevity. Regular inspection of hoses and connections.
Clutch Maintenance:
Regular inspection and cleaning of clutch sheaves, rollers, and buttons to ensure optimal performance and belt life. Belt condition is critical.
Fuel System Cleanliness:
Maintain fuel system cleanliness. Fuel filters on EFI systems require periodic replacement. Use fresh, clean fuel.
Track Tension:
Improper track tension can lead to excessive wear on the track, sliders, and drive components. Regular adjustments are necessary.
Heritage:
Arctic Cat has a long-standing history in snowmobile manufacturing, known for innovation and performance.
Focus On 4 Stroke:
The 2007 lineup reflects a significant push towards 4-stroke engine technology, offering an alternative to traditional 2-strokes for efficiency and emissions.
Manufacturing Location:
Arctic Cat snowmobiles are primarily manufactured in the USA (Thief River Falls, Minnesota).
